Some AB Tech courses are Early Start, which means they begin approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of TCR classes.
AB Tech does not share the same spring break with TCR. Students in online classes will have assignments over spring break.
AB Tech classes are college classes and grades are not reflected in power school. Parents must review the student's moodle with their student in order to view grades.
AB Tech instructors only communicate with the student enrolled in their class and only through the student's ABTech email.
Students must check their AB Tech email and moodle a minimum of weekly, but preferably daily. Late assignments are not accepted.
